Elizabeth told me a story that has lingered with me for a couple of weeks now. She was at school when one of her friends became very upset over how some other kids were treating her. Elizabeth decided to try and cheer her up by giving her some advice.
She told her that whenever she feels sad she thinks of a cat wearing a skirt and it makes her laugh. When Elizabeth recounted the incident to me, she said,
"seriously Mom, I told her, if you picture a cat with a skirt on, doesn't it make you laugh? I mean you can't stay sad or angry with that cat in your head running around in a skirt!"
No Elizabeth, you really can't can you? I have taken her advice a few times and it works. So, if you want, take a page from my 6 year old's book and imagine a cat wearing a skirt the next time you feel annoyed, angry or sad and see for yourself if it works.
